Reply to comment by Dirk_94 in Women will have equal share of seats in [New Zealand] Parliament with Soraya Peke-Mason's swearing-in by giblefog

Isn't being given a role (whether government or private sector) based on a person's gender the literal definition of sexism?

That this was forced diversity rather than just having elected even numbers of men and women. There’s no quota or agenda, this is just individual parliamentary elections leading to a 50/50 ratio.

Well it is? Most likely as a woman you wont have the largest share of the votes yet still you get awarded a seat because you are on the womens voting list.
